Currently the hypervisor will hang if it hits a WARN_ON.

The implemention uses an undefined instruction, made ourself because ARM
doesn't provide one, to implement BUG/ASSERT/WARN_ON, and sets up the
different tables (one for each type) which contain useful information.

This is based on the x86 implementation (include/asm-x86/bug.h). Unfortunately
the structure can't be shared because many ARM{32,64} gcc versions doesn't
correctly support %c. The support of executing a function in an exception 
handler
is also keep unimplemented on ARM.

TODO:
I haven't yet hook the code on ARM64 as I'm not sure how undefined instruction
are handled. It looks like there is multiple way to get it via HSR.

Apart from the lack of arm64 support this looks good to me.

I will try to send a new version with the arm64 support next week.
